Join us to watch the sun rise over the ocean on the first day of 2022 at Two Lights State Park. Listen to the waves wash against the rocks as the sun rises. We'll look for the green flash, breathe the cold air and enjoy the first rays of sunlight. Its the beginning of another trip around the sun! Bundle up! Bring chairs and hot beverages to sip and enjoy the sunrise. Stay to take a walk around the park and learn how the plants and animals adapt to survive the cold winter months. The walking will be an easy 3/4-mile loop of the shoreline and woodland paths. Meet at High Head at the rose garden. Arrival 6:30-6:45 am. Sunrise 7:15.
